Pics of some bootie mods to a 4b tractor used for railway construction...
I bet they will have problems with the steering links etc. There will be some huge forces being fed back thru the steering with all of that leverage...

Cool it's a chode! But there's not a lot of clearance underneath considering the height of the tyres.
A couple more...

What's a chode???
Considering that Val ( the guy dredssed in black) stands about 6'3", the front tyres would be about 62" (rears about 75"+) . Ground clearance would
only be about 22"... Pretty close to what you will be getting with your Portals and 38s

And gearing that most of us dream about.

It must be local lingo. When I was in highschool it refered to a penis that is wider than long. Haha
That tractor reminds me of a crab.
Clearance will roughly be half of the tyre height. So 19" with 38" baby yeah!

I don't think that they have worked out the ackerman to well, it would be pretty dodgy turning that beast, but I bet it could out-perform just about anything on a side slope
It has been widened so that it can straddle a railway track and run with the a tyres on the formation either side of the ballast (rocks under the sleepers). They use it to pull 144m lengths of rail off the end of a works train and out along the track.

its probly not going fast enough or steering enough to make a difference

Yeah, plus running on loose ballast, dirt roads and mud, the tyres can slip around a fair bit.
I still reckon there would be a heap of stress on the steering linkages / ram etc.
BTW, did you get the vids?
